I had the confirmation Thursday afternoon. it's not an exact science so I think they just guess when lol. they just said could be 2 weeks could be 2 months. to be honest I don't really think it's sunk in as yet as I don't feel any different than I did last week.
I've held off replying because every time I typed out a response it didn't seem to do the situation justice.
But then again, words can't really ever do it justice, so I'll say it as plainly as possible. I'm deeply sorry to hear the news and I hope your remaining time is filled with friends, family and good memories.
Have you considered palliative care?
My grandfather, several years ago now, spent his last weeks in our local hospice. The work they did to make his situation as comfortable as possible was just incredible. There are no words really that can describe the care both he and my family received from the nurses and staff.
Hospice's aren't just beds either. Many of them offer in-home respite care, day services and therapy & counselling for both patients and their family members.
I don't know if it's something you have thought about, but they are special, specific services designed to help both you and your loved ones through what is a very difficult time.
